I did a video thing with top agents in the theater biz

For a decade, I’ve been lucky enough to serve on the advisory committee of the American Theatre Wing. Sometimes they ask me to moderate discussions with bigwigs.

In early December 2021, I spoke with three of the top theatrical agents about their career paths for ATW’s The Network, which is geared to emerging leaders in the theater industry.

I loved getting to take a deep dive into their business for an hour. Maybe you or someone you know could benefit from their advice.

Here’s how the folks at the Wing summed up the aim of the talk:

Connecting talent with opportunity, AGENTS play an integral role in the life cycle of artists and the overall ecosystem of theatre. For the aspiring theatre professional who loves to consume art and has an eye for successful work, this career may be a great fit. But how do you become an agent? If you possess transferable skills like being creative, excellent communication, or work well under pressure, you already have some of the qualities needed for the job. To learn more, join us for our next Network meeting as panelists discuss their career journeys and share additional insight on what it takes to be a successful agent.
